PYB's Internship Program is in Full Swing

For much of 2010, PYB staff have been developing a new internship program that provides students with opportunities to acquire real world job perspective and the chance to enter college or the workforce with increased skills and a strengthened work ethic. In mid-November, PYB's first cohort of interns began their 5 week placements with local businesses and organizations. Students from this inaugural corhort have reported having incredibly valuable and eye-opening experiences. One student shared, "I am so grateful to PYB for helping me complete another chapter of my life and the Quango team for inspiring me to start my next one. I never thought I would hear myself say this, but I cannot wait to see what my future holds".

PYB is excited to further evolve this program and make it available to a growing number of students in the coming months. Furthermore, more area businesses and organizations are expressing interest in partnering with PYB as internship host sites. We are grateful for the support these institutions and look forward to further growing our relationships in the years to come.
